On Oct. 5, 1962, the first Bond film, Dr. No, hit theaters. Five decades and 22 films later, the spy has been immortalized as a legendary screen hero. TIME has compiled the most interesting stories, anecdotes and tidbits from the franchise

James … and Jack and Rose?

Just as Bond the spy has his arch-nemeses, Bond the series has its movie-theater competition. Perhaps the most daunting of all is Titanic. The James Cameron epic was already a hit abroad when it opened in the U.S. on Dec. 19, 1997 — the same day as Tomorrow Never Dies, a Bond movie with less than half the budget given to Rose and Jack. Though Titanic has made substantially more money overall — more than any other movie in American history until Avatar — TND fared well, opening to about $25 million in the U.S. versus Titanic’s $28 million.

Other noteworthy opening-weekend clashes in Bond history include Octopussy vs. Trading Spaces (June 10, 1983), Licence to Kill vs. When Harry Met Sally (July 14, 1989) and A View to a Kill vs. the epic combination of Brewster’s Millions, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Fletch. (For what it’s worth, Rambo won handily, with a $20 million opening weekend.) Skyfall will have a clear playing field when it opens in the U.S. on Nov. 9.

You have cited the picture as Goldeneye 007 (presumably the 2010 version). However, that is not Goldeneye 007, it's just a Half Life 2 mod. Very poor considering that there are hundreds of pictures of either the 1997 or 2010 versions of Goldeneye.

Two quick corrections concerning the Bond-esque film spoofed by MST3k and starring Neil Connery:

* The title of the movie as show on MST3k episode 508 is "Operation Double 007" with "Operation Kid Brother" being the original Italian title and "OK Connery" the rename here in the U.S.* That episode isn't currently available on video, but it will be released on 12/4/2012 as part of "Shout! Factory's MST3k: Volume XXV".One other item of note about that film is that it featured a number of Bond film supporting actors, particularly Bernard Lee ("M") and Lois Maxwell ("Miss Moneypenny).
